Registered TypePad users will be able to use the VideoEgg Publisher for free to upload videos from camcorders, Web cams and mobile phones without having to navigate export settings, incompatible player versions or conflicting video software. Currently, the publisher is only available for Windows-based bloggers, but a Mac version is in the works and should appear soon, according to VideoEgg.

"People have been used to posting photos on their blogs, but video has been more complicated because of different formats and readers," said Kevin Sladek, a VideoEgg co-founder. "What we've done is built a universal adapter that can accept all different kinds of video, and publish them in a format that anyone can watch."

With the service, VideoEgg and TypePad expect that many more bloggers will now incorporate video into their blogs, in much the same way that they include photos.
